Starting from a thatched cottage, the farmer embarked on the road to wealth through imperial examina

Ye Changyan suddenly burst into laughter, leaving the whole family confused and they all looked at Ye Changyan in surprise and suspicion.

When Wulang saw his brother laughing, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his brother had just touched those poisonous mushrooms and got poisoned, causing him to show symptoms of madness?

Wu Lang was uneasy for a moment. He looked left and right, then looked at his brother carefully. Only then did he see that Ye Changyan had stopped laughing.

Just now, a picture suddenly flashed through Ye Changyan's mind. He had seen it in his previous life. This edible fungus cultivation technology called the Shocking Mushroom Technique was first discovered when cultivating shiitake mushrooms.

Then a thought flashed through my mind, and a huge business opportunity emerged.

He clearly remembered that in his previous life, many businesses had launched MSG substitutes, claiming that these MSG substitutes not only had a richer and mellower taste, but also that the raw materials were pure natural.

These MSG substitutes have been hot-selling products on the market for a long time.

These products can be mainly divided into three categories: one is extracted from chicken, one is extracted from vegetables, and the other is extracted from mushrooms.

The main raw material extracted from mushrooms is shiitake mushrooms, because fresh mushrooms are rich in mushroom flavor and guanylic acid. These two flavor enhancers, especially guanylic acid, were widely used flavor enhancers in the food industry in the past.

Ye Changyan still remembers that in his previous life, many people used mushrooms to make their own MSG substitutes, and the method was not complicated.

Combining his conclusion about the food desert in the world after traveling through time, Ye Changyan felt that he might have found the first business opportunity to improve his family's livelihood.

If I could combine the use of these mushrooms with the upgrading of cooking utensils, I might be able to lead a food revolution and turn this food desert into a food paradise.

Thinking of this, Ye Changyan couldn't help but burst into laughter. At this moment, his eyes were full of gold ingots.

"Brother! Why are you grinning like an idiot?"

Wu Lang was really afraid that his brother would be poisoned by the poisonous mushrooms, so he became crazy. He shouted and grabbed his brother's arm and shook it violently.

After Wu Lang's actions, Ye Changyan finally came back to his senses from his dream of getting rich. Seeing his family looking at him in surprise, he smiled awkwardly.

"Goro, are you sure you saw a lot of these mushrooms on Scythe Mountain?"

Seeing Ye Changyan asking Wulang very seriously, the family felt relieved.

"That's right. Although this kind of mushroom is scattered in the fallen leaves under the trees, it can be found everywhere."

As he spoke, Goro pointed at the yellow chanterelles, then at the chicken mushrooms.

"This kind of mushroom is mostly distributed on the slopes halfway up the mountain, in clusters, and is easy to pick."

Seeing the surprise on his brother's face, Goro also started to get excited. He thought these mushrooms must be delicious, so he pointed to the brown wild mushrooms.

"This kind of mushroom grows on the trunks of dead trees, especially in slightly moist areas. The dead branches there are densely covered with this kind of mushroom."

It seems that Wulang was deeply impressed, and Ye Changyan was very happy.

"Wulang, take me to have a look tomorrow. These mushrooms are really good. Maybe our family can make some money from them."

When the family heard Ye Changyan say that they could make money from mushrooms, their ears pricked up at once.

"Sanlang, what did you say?"

Ye Xiaozheng couldn't believe his ears. Everyone knew that mushrooms were poisonous, but his son just said that he could make money from these mushrooms.

"Dad, Mom, Erniu, Wulang, don't worry. I just have some ideas. I'll go to the mountains tomorrow and make specific plans."

For a moment, Ye Changyan was not in a position to explain too much to his family. Even if he explained, they would not have an intuitive feeling and would not be able to understand. So Ye Changyan planned to make a decision after seeing it in detail tomorrow.

The whole family looked at Ye Changyan with confusion and expectation.

"Dad, Mom, Erniu, Wulang, don't tell anyone about my ability to detoxify mushrooms or about our mushroom picking. We're going into the mountains early tomorrow morning."

Although the family didn't quite understand why Ye Changyan asked them to keep it a secret, they all nodded in tacit understanding.

That night, the whole family was busy cleaning the black fungus and hanging it on a bamboo plate. The selected pine mushrooms were also boiled and then everyone went to bed.

The next day, early in the morning, the family had breakfast and Lian went up the mountain with her three children, leaving Ye Xiaozheng to look after the house and dry the black fungus.

Lian and Wulang each carried a backpack, while Erniu and Wulang each carried a bamboo basket.

Goro ran in the front because he was most familiar with the growing areas of those mushrooms.

Shortly after the sun rose, Ye Changyan and his party had already entered the Sickle Mountain and did not meet anyone along the way.

"Brother, here, here, we are almost there."

Wulang carried the basket and ran very fast in the woods, stopping from time to time to pick up a few chanterelles.

The chanterelles were relatively scattered, so the mother and her son picked them up as they walked. Halfway up the mountain, they had a small harvest.

"Brother, look!"

Wu Lang shouted excitedly, and when he saw his brother and others catching up, he pointed to the low cliff above.

Everyone looked in the direction of Wulang's finger, and sure enough, there were clusters of mushrooms scattered on the gently sloping cliff.

Ye Changyan was also a little excited. He put down his backpack, grabbed a vine on the cliff, and climbed up.

There is a protruding pointed top on the grayish-white cap. Yes, it is the Torch Mushroom.

Because we arrived early, the sun had just risen and many newly emerged chicken mushrooms had not yet opened their caps. The chicken mushrooms picked at this time were more fresh and tender.

Ye Changyan was very excited, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

“Yes, this is the chicken mushroom!”

Hearing Ye Changyan's affirmative answer, Lian and her two children were very happy and hurried to climb up the cliff to pick them.

"Mom, you and Erniu will take over down below, while Wulang and I will be in charge of picking. Although the cliff is low, it is slanted, and it will be difficult to stand with too many people. Don't step on these treasures."

Wu Lang carried the basket with excitement on his face, grabbed a thick vine and climbed up.

"Wulang, be careful and try not to damage the soil and rocks on the cliff. The distribution of the chicken mushroom has a characteristic, just like a chicken has a nest. This piece is a nest of the chicken mushroom. We picked it today, and it will grow again in the future."

When Wulang heard this, he immediately became cautious. Erniu also handed the basket in her hand to her brother, and the two brothers carefully began to pick the chicken mushrooms in this nest.

Soon, the brothers' baskets were full. Lian and Erniu took the baskets and carefully placed the chicken mushrooms in their backpacks.

The two brothers picked up six baskets of chicken mushrooms from this nest.
